Elite Aerosports MBX
Inspired by the legendary Aermacchi MB-339, the Elite Aerosports MBX is our vision of what a modern evolution of a classic jet should be. We took the timeless lines of an icon and infused them with cutting-edge design, performance, and engineering—resulting in a model that exceeds expectations in every category.
The MBX delivers an unmatched flying experience. Its “point-and-go” handling makes it incredibly intuitive, while its wide flight envelope allows for both ultra-slow, controlled flight and blistering high-speed passes. Whether you’re performing precision aerobatics or setting up for landing, the MBX remains exceptionally stable and confidence-inspiring.
This is more than just a model—it’s a performer you’ll want to fly again and again.
